    6 January 2003 -- Amsterdam-based telecoms group KPN has completed the previously announced sale of its Belgian data unit to fellow Dutch telecoms firm Scarlet.

    KPN has also reached a basic agreement to sell its web unit Planet Internet Belgium to privately owned Scarlet and hopes to complete that deal by mid-February.

    The move is in line with KPN's stated policy to sell non-core and loss-making units in order to cut a debt pile of about EUR15bn amassed to expand its foreign mobile and Internet operations.
    About 200 staff will be transferred to Scarlet as part of the data unit sale.
